"'Arirang' proves perfect comeback"

Major overseas media outlets have shed light on their comeback, reporting a series of news related to BTS's fifth full-length album "ARIRANG." Media paid attention to the musical perfection and narrative of "Arirang," as well as the title song "SWIM."

Rolling Stone in the U.S. published an article titled, "Proved a Perfect Comeback with 'Arirang.' "Through this blockbuster comeback, we have emphasized the group's identity and Korean roots, while expanding into new areas musically. "It shows that we are ready to regain control of the global stage by putting our unique confidence to the fore."

"Shinbo reminds us of where BTS started and strengthens our connection with music fans around the world. The experiences and exploration gained in their respective times gathered as a team again. This is the power of Arirang. The seven different voices are back together and stronger than before," he added.

NPR said, "Idol groups constantly change, but real teams create their own frameworks. "Arirang" shows that BTS has built its own musical connection. "The members gathered again clearly reveal their direction with stronger solidarity than ever," he said.

Rolling Stone UK gave the album a perfect five. The media said, "BTS is a cultural phenomenon, and their journey to the global stage is special in itself. This album is also a work of scale and completeness, and every detail is carefully designed," he praised.

The title song "SWIM" was also well received. Billboard said, "The title song firmly centers the album. The straightforward message that scattered rivers gather into the sea is the power of this song," he said. The U.S. Hollywood Reporter said, "SWIM' intuitively captures the group's commitment to moving forward. "The BTS, who will be in the next chapter of his career, shows a meaningful turning point by releasing his affection for life and journey through music." Forbes highlighted its presence and control of the stage with "SWIM."

In addition, the BBC said, "The return of them means a lot in itself," and the New York Times is taking on the challenge of continuing the career of pop stars with the release of "Arirang" and live performances on Netflix. "With the exception of Elvis Presley's case, it is difficult to find a precedent," he said.

Meanwhile, "Arirang" is an album that contains the identity of BTS and the universal emotions they face. Chairman Bang Si-hyuk was in charge of general production. The title song "SWIM" sings about the posture of continuing to swim without stopping in the waves of life.
